Deadline: March 16, 2024

Applications are invited for the Maria Moors Cabot Prizes 2024. This award is given to journalists who, in their work and throughout their careers, have contributed to promoting greater inter-American understanding in the Americas.

The Maria Moors Cabot Prizes are the oldest international awards in journalism and were founded in 1938, when Godfrey Lowell Cabot of Boston founded the Maria Moors Cabot Prizes as a memorial to his wife. The prizes recognize journalists and news organizations with a distinguished body of work that has contributed to Inter­-American understanding. 

Benefits

  • The honorees are announced in the summer and will receive a Cabot medal and $5,000 honorarium. Special citations may also be awarded. 

Eligibility

  • Open to any journalist and/or news executive who works for any news organization based in the Western Hemisphere or any press association or news service that serves such an organization;
  • Other individuals, including freelance journalists, with a long record of reporting on the region can apply;
  • All media platforms, including online publications are eligible.

Selection Criteria

  • The Cabot Prizes Board looks for exceptional and courageous reporting that impacts society, and evidence of commitment to important stories over the course of a long and distinguished career. They are particularly interested in hearing about journalists and news organizations that have made a sustained contribution to Inter-­American understanding through their coverage of the Americas.
  • The board also seeks to honor journalists who have taken active roles in upholding freedom of the press in the Americas. Although awards have been given to publishers and other managers, the board is especially interested in honoring individual journalists.

  • Career highlights, examples of work: At least five but no more than ten (without prior authorization) print articles, books, television or radio programs or online stories that best represent the nominee’s career, or body of work. Curate the stories or reporting that shows strengths over time.
  • Provide working direct links to any media.
  • Individuals may nominate themselves.
  • Nominations must be signed by the person submitting it.
  • One to three letters from third parties that explain why the nominee is especially deserving of the prize are also welcome. Supporting material such as books will not be returned.
